New York Hall of Science Genome Exhibit
Who’s in New York? I would love it if you’d go to the Hall of Science in Corona to take some pictures of the new interactive exhibit – Genome: The Secret of How Life Works.
A crowd favorite was the “Unzip Zip” part of the exhibit, around which was a continuous swarm of students and parents. In this game the players have 60 seconds to create a DNA ladder by matching unattached magnetic blocks representing different DNA pieces to their counterparts. After the minute passes, all the players’ work is dismantled and falls down to a basket that catches the blocks.
The exhibit ends on May 6, 2007. Let me know if you’ve been!
